چکیده
Starting from the SO(2, 2n) Chern–Simons form in (2n + 1) dimensions we calculate the variation of conserved quantities in Lovelock gravity and Lovelock–Maxwell gravity through the covariant formalism developed in [23]. Despite the technical complexity of the Lovelock Lagrangian we obtain a remarkably simple expression for the variation of the charges ensuing from the diffeomorphism covariance of the theory. The viability of the result is tested in specific applications and the formal expression for the entropy of Lovelock black holes is recovered.

We show that topological 3D gravity with torsion can be formulated as a Chern-Simons gauge theory, provided a specific parameter, known as the effective cosmological constant, is negative. In that case, the boundary dynamics of the theory corresponding to anti-de Sitter boundary conditions is described by a conformal field theory with two different central charges.

We try to give hereafter an answer to some open questions about the definition of conserved quantities in Chern-Simons theory, with particular reference to Chern-Simons AdS3 Gravity. Our attention is focused on the problem of global covariance and gauge invariance of the variation of Noether charges. A theory which satisfies the principle of covariance on each step of its construction is develo...

Under certain circumstances the Chern-Simons 3-form is exact (or is a sum of exact forms). Its volume integral can be written as a surface term, in a " holographic " representation.

A space-based superconducting gravitational low-frequency wave detector is considered. Sensitivity of the detector is sufficient to use the detector as a partner of other contemporary low-frequency detectors like LIGO and LISA. This device can also be very useful for experimental study of other effects predicted by theories of gravitation.
